Example 2 (Section Design with a Given Moment)

Unknowns:
Given:

1.

b, d, h, As
l = 15 feet
DL = 1.27 kips/ft
LL = 2.44 kips/ft
fc = 4000 psi
fy = 60,000 psi
c = 150 psf

Assume b and h for self-eight determination:

Let b = 10 in and h = 18 in
d = 18 2.5 = 15.5
d/b = 1.5
Minimum depth for simply supported beam = l/16 = 15/16 . 12 = 11.25; OKAY!

2.

Find the applied moment to be resisted

W = 150 . (10/12) . (18/12) . (1/1000) = 0.1875 kips/ft (this is to be revised)
Therefore, Wu = 1.4(1.27 + 0.1875) + 1.7(2.44) = 6.19 kips/ft
Mu = wul2/8 = 6.19 (15)2/8 . 12 (ft/in) = 2089 kips.in

3.

Compute min & b; and choose

min = 200/fy = 0.0033

bd2 = 2229 in2

Actual bd2 = 10. (15.5)2 = 2403 in2 > Required bd2 = 2229 in2; OKAY!

Assign rebar arrangement

= As/bd = 0.0214
As = 0.0214.b.d = 0.0214.10.(15.5) = 3.32 in2 (required)
Provide 2#10 + 1#8
As provide = 3.32 in2
Note: can be smaller and a larger section may be needed to improve cost and deflection performance.
However, if there is architectural restrictions on sizes, a with a value closer to the upper bound is
normally used (to reduce section size as much as possible)

Example 3 (Crack Width Determination)

Given:

b = 12
h = 20
As = 4.00 in2 (4 #9)
fy = 60,000 psi
Exposure = external

w = 0.000091 f s 3 d c A

Equation 1

Equation 2

fs = 0.6fy in kips = 0.6 x 60 = 36 kips/in

dc = 2.5 in
A = Aeff / N

Aeff = web width x 2 x dc = 12 x 2 x 2.5 = 60 in2

N = Total As / area of largest bar = 4.00 / 1.00 = 4
Therefore, A = 60 / 4 = 15 in2
W = 0.011 in
ACI Stipulation
External exposure:
Since, W < Wmax; OKAY!

Wmax = 0.013 in

1.051 Structural Engineering Design

Prof. Oral Buyukozturk

Fall 2003

Case 1
Vu > Vc/2;
But
Vu < Vc

since 12 > 7.7

since 12 < 15.4

Therefore, use minimum reinforcement, spacing is the smallest of

s = d/2 = 16.5/2 = 8.25, s = Avfy/(50bw) = 0.22 (60000) / (50 x 10) = 26.4,
Choose s = 8.25

Provide s = 8

theoretical
practical

Case 2
Vu > Vc

since 36 > 15.4

Vs = Vu/ - Vc = 36/0.85 18.1 = 24.3 kips

and
s = Avfyd/Vs = 0.22 x 60 x 16.5 / 24.3 = 8.96
But need to check if Vs 4fc bwd = 4 (3000)1/2 . 10 . (16.5) = 36.1 kips > 24.3
Therefore, smax = Avfy/50bw = 26.4 or

smax = d/2 = 8.25 < 24

s = 8.25
Therefore, provide s = 8 as before
For Vu = 12 or 36 kips
Provide the same stirrup arrangement!!!
Case 1:
Case 2:

For safety reason

For need-based reason

Case 3
Vu = 42 kips
Vs = Vu/ - Vc = 42/0.85 18.1 = 31.3 kips < 4fc bwd = 36.1 kips
Therefore, provide s =

Find Vu
Vu = (Vc + Vs) = 0.85 (31.55 + 59.4) = 77.3 kips
Find Wu allowed
At the critical section Vu = 8.5 Wu
Therefore, Wu = 77.3 = 9.1 kips/ft

Find Wu allowed
At the transition, the interface will be taken care of by the last stirrup in Region (1).
Therefore, consider d from the interface.
Vu = 3.5Wu = 49.3
Wu = 14.1 kips/ft
